A letter from a correspondent cat d the Mynouth, published in to-day’s pa | tion evinced in every quarter of the Union in ‘ evidence. In doing this he classifies, with a | plansibte simulation of artlessness, States | Watching for “intrusion and invasion by citi- | zens of other States;” in other words, | John Brown raids, with dissatisfaction | ‘at the tariff poliey, the fishery boun- | ty, and other similar questions of public | policy. Apparently fearless of attributing this | failure of the government to its proper cause, | the rule of demagogues through the machinery ot political party organization, he passes the recent political parties in review, and, with an | admirable assumption of candor, pronouoces that it follows from a failure to establish a fede- | tal policy in regard to the relations of slavery towards the Union, a forgetfulness of the “sp! | Titus! ends” of party, and a deadening of the | “public conscience.” | All ofthese things he claims to have been th j result of a “national depariure.”” from the guilt of which he absolves the Revolution, the aci of confederation, Jeffersonian republicanism of 1800, and the national sentiment of 1512, aud lays it upon the compromise of 1820, There | he tekee bis stand on the ground of the greatest , demagogue of that day, Rufus King, and pro- | ceeds to dilate upon manifest destiny on abo~ | tition principles, the future of the British pro- | yinces und Spanish America, the “wrongful | new of slavery,” the necessity of confining it to | where it now exists, and its injustice and inbu- | manity. In this connection he invents } the new and ambiguous phrase of “federal | slavery,” and tells us that “Virginia and Texas | are thrown into a panic even now by the ap- pearance of # bandful of wen within their | borders iustigating civil war.” He alludes to the social exigencies of the age—“sugar and cot- ton’’—for which he has a characteristic solu- tion. According to Mr. Seward, we produce enough of these articles for ourselves; and if Enrope wants them he recommends Europe to send her white laborers hither, or to the pesti- lential shores of tue tropics, to grow them, As to his policy of governmeat, he proclaims that “po government can excuse liself from protect- ing the extreme rights of every human being, whether tureign or native born, bond or free;” aud he asserts that Lincola will stand up to this policy, lead where it may, aud that his party is sufficiently indoctrinated to support him ia it. ‘There are some admissions in Mr. Seward’s speech which are fatat to the theories he advo- cates. He acknowledges that the of the Union was “to avoid auarcby,” and its prin- ciple “ihe fraternity of the American people;” and that to day both the necessiiy and the prin- ciple are violated in the fet that sie ter States are forced to waieh and defend themselves against invasion and intru- sion by citizens of otber States, and that they are to day thrown into a panic by the presence in their midst of men “ instigating civil war.” The existence of theee evils is aot due to any | weaknees or failure in the policy of the fede- ral government, which Mr. Seward assnila; | they are due to the teachings of Mr. Seward | himself on the floor of the Senate, in the halle | cf the peop'e, and on the platiorms of popular assemblages: (hey spricg from the growth of his biack republican principles and party; aud | should these triumph in November, aad Lin- coln and his abolitionized follower come to occupy the high places of Uie land, they would | be increased tenfold, a handredfold, aye, o thous ndfold, by the coafdence on the part of | the persons “instigating civil war’ that be- _ sides perty sympathy there would be party | power behind them.

Tue Trsrxe on Comparative Corrvrrioy.— The Tribune takes exception to our conclusions as to the comparative corruption of the repub- lican party and the democratic party which we came to in our comments upon the Degroot con- | tract case at Washington, because we said that, | had there been a republican Secretary of War in Mr. Floyd’s place, the amount plundered from the treasury would, in all probability, have been doubled or trebled. Now, we are these two factions. There is corruption enough in either of them to aatisfy Satan himself; and as to getting into a controversy about which fac tion is the most corrupt, we do not see the ne cemity of it; such a discussion would uot be worth the trouble. But when we look at the rascality of which the republicans have been guilty, wherever they were in power, we think that we had some warrant for our conclusions in the Degroot case. For example, the amount plundered by the inst Albany Legistature alone was two millious of dollars, stolen in the brief apace of a hut ered days from this city, in the form of its rights and franchises. But Massa Greeley’s excuse for this outrageous robbery is that there were four democrats implicated in the business to every two republicans, aud he laments, no doubt, that the plunder was divided in like pro- portion; and he cites the Wisconsin corruptions, and those in Iinois and Maine, as similar ex amples. But we know that the members of each party in the Albany Legisiature were divided just about the other way. However, let that pass; we have no objection to this mode of set- tling the division of the plunder. It only shows the fine senetbility of Mussa Greeley in claiming evenhanded justice for the robbers of bis own paity. If we had our will we would send the plunderers of both factions to the State prison to work out the difference for the benefit of the State. Poramcat Trovetes or Ecrore—-Tar Prostem ov Tue Day.—In another column will be found aa interesting sketch of the Eastern question, from its earliest developement in the time of Peter the Great down to the recent events in Syria. It will he seen that Russia has never lost an opportunity of carrying out the fixed policy of that monarch by promoting, by her intrigues, the disintegration cf the Ottoman empire, and of as steadily opposing all attempts at {ts re- form or reconstruction. In the sketch that we give to-day we give place to a scheme suggest- ed by a correspondent who has long resided in Turkey, whereby he thinks its political system may be safely reorganized without curtailing the dominions of the Sultan. There are (wo objections to his plan which we regard as fatal. | It contemplates the division of the empire into a number of small States, the whole to hare a | federal representation, composed half of Mussul- | man and half of Christian delegates. A mo- | ment’s reflection will show that this would never work. A representative system pre- | supposes an intelligent and educated popu- | lation, and the Turks are far removed | from the condivion which would fit them for | the exercise of the elective franchise. Then, | again, our correspondent would have the eu- preme government more or less under the con- trol of a council, composed of the representa- | tives of the European Powers. This would be perpetuating the very evil which it ix songht to get rid of, for until Berkey be freed from the interested interference of European rulers she can make no suecessful efforts at relfre form or good government. We stated the other day our own views as to the mode in which the Gifficulties in which this question is involved are to be surmounted. We have repeated them in the article to which we refer, convinced that they afford the only satisfactory solution to the problem which ie now occupying the attention of Europe.

The telegraph Of polition! equality by « legistatfon Ike | companies, by rateing the tole on despatches, teat of which Gartiedz is the apostle, Seward | are helping to ili off the proviggial papers, the New York Press, Out of the millions of peopie who daily take up newsvapers for business objects or for in- struction or amusement, there are compara tively few who have any aceurate idea of the enormous smount of money which is expended in supplying them with the information they re quire. The majority profit by the results with- out having the curiosity to inquire how they have-been arrived at. And yet there are not many subjects more interesting than the ma- chinery and organization of « great dally jour- nal, employing, as it does, a regiment of hands. und an smount of capital which would astonish those who judge only of its requirements in that way by the modest price of ite daily issne, Were we to tell them that the receipts and ex- penditures of our own paperexceed those of tome of the sovereign States of the Union we should be aconsed of exaggeration; and yet the fact is easily demonstrabie by figures, were we called upon to prove it. A good deal has been said of late about the enterprise of the London press, and it no doubt deserves credit for the energy which it has on many occasions displayed. It would, however, be easy to ‘show that it is ia this re epect very far behind the New York press, al- though the latter is in point of years in its in- fancy a# compared with its English rivals. Let ue take ag an example of the correctness of this assertion the different use made of the telegraph by both presses. The London papers do not seen to have as yet discovered ine full value of (his important medium of intelligence, They rarely publich more than a quarter of a column of telegraphic despatches by any of the Enro- pean lines, no matier how interesting their con- tents may be, And this, be it recollected, in s field ot telegraphic enterprise covering a far greater pumber of newe cenires than are com- prized within the range of our own tives, All ihe European capitals are embraced within the network of wires of which London boids the key, and at each of these points are continually transpiring events of the bighest importance. And yet wil the space that the London paper cun afford to devote to them at times whea mit- lions of commercial values are at stake, or even the fate of a government is involved, is a quar- ter, or at most half a column. Here, on the con- trary, where the telegraph lines connect only cour own States, and where the intelligence pass- ed over them is rarely of the importance or ab rorbing interest which altaches to the Euro peao despatches, the New York jourtals give one, two, three or four columps of telegraphic matter, according as its mature warrants. Fence arose the necessity for the organization known as the Associated Press, Au idea pre vail that this was established in order to save expence to the diferent journals of which the association is composed, and to prevent compe- tition. Nothing can be more erroneous. [i was formed simply because the telegraphs of the country could not furnish facilities enough tu the press to supply the news to the extent required by each. As competition could not be carried on through # telegraph system, which could only tranemit « limited amount of news matter daily, and which was bonnd to act on the principle of “ftret come first served,” it of course became the interest of the leading New York papers to unite together for w common object. But in doing thia they did not bind themselves to reduce the amount of telegraph matter, or not to use the tines to any further extent than they separate mesos would permit. Thus, | whilst our own paper Contributes ite ehare to the expenses incurred by the association, it weekly expenses for additional telegraphic despatches specially furnished to it frequently amount to over thousand dollars, beiag wore than those incurred by all the other New York papers put together. This one item of expease will give some ides of the enormons amount of capital required to carry oa 8 great daily jour pal like the Hy natn. But money is not everything in the organiz tion and successtn| working of a (rst class Lewepaper, There are plenty of capitelum [ this city who think that ii fe sufficient for them to subscribe one or two bundred thonsan] dol jars, and to promise as much mure, 60 esto dlish such & paper op @ permavent footing. They try the experiment, and af the end of the first | year they find that they have lft one impor. tant ec ment of euceess oul of (Leir calculations, and that is—braius. Aman can no more ac quire the profession of an editer in a broker's office or on the Corn Exchange than he can pick up thet ofa lawyer or an enciocer in a printing office. And 80 these would-be journal- iets, who bave abandoned their business oecu- pations in defiance of (he Latin proverb, which enjvios the cobbler to atick to bis last, discover to their cost. After paying o | thelr money to the tune of a Couple of thousaud dollars a week, without even a prospective retura for it, they begin to find oul, alter a lic: lime, that they have made but s sorry epeculs'ion, and sooner than vend good money ofter bad they back out of their promise to (ule further capital, and tell out to whoever is simple exougs to bay. Thie is the bietory of the rise and fal! of most of the newspaper enterprives plaricd by money- ed speculators, How, indeed, can it be other- wie? Journalism, like all other tatellectual professions? & special training, and there must be combined with it e due sense of its responsibilities.

The Confession of ‘Ihurlow Weed and Albany Legislation. We publish in anoflier part of to day’s issue a Most remarkable defence, on the part of Thur- low Weed, to the charges that have been re cently made by our city coiemporaries aguinst his legislative peculations. It is one of the most singular documents that has appeared in this age of legislative corruption; it fully cor- roborates the siatements heretofore made in the eclumns of the Heratp in regard to the wholeeale bribery that exists at Albany, and furnishes a peep into (he heart and inside work- ings of the Albany lobby further than any pre- vious etoloment Ghai has been made. This re- view of his operations, although giving only the offers that be has refused to accept, is” enough to oper the eyes of every voter of the Vwpire State, and caus® them to ask, whither are we drifting? The public have for years past looked upon the legislative bodies of our city and State as being the centres and botbeds of corruption; but few could be made to betleve that there ex isted at Albany eo poisonous an atmosphere as is némitied in this defence ot Mr. Weed. He tells us that “there bas ecarcely been a session of the Legislature for more than a quarter of a century out of which he could not have made o large amount of money,” and iuat the refusal to do so has made evemiee out of intimate friends, Who are these “intimate friends’ that flock to him with their well filled purses and promise to empty them at hia feet if he will only spesk the magic word to the Legislature? Are they brother republicans or democrats? Are they either Presidential, Gubernatorial or Congres- ional aspirants, or simply private speculators, who are looking about for the best chance to invest their money, and making up their minds that there is money to be made in buying the Legislature, call upon Weed, who kuows the value of each head, to act as their broker? ‘There large offers of movey look like a busi- nem operation; moneyed men are not fn the habit of promising their twenty or hundred thousand of dotlare except ft be ina business way; and their calling upon Mr. Weed, as he confesses they do, must be because they know that he is in that line of trade. He informs we thet be has “persistently re- foxed for six years to accept fifty per cent of a claire of $1,200,000 against the State; and in the rame paragraph we are also told that (hou- eande of dollar have beea offered for the de- feat of city railrosts; also “that there have been legislative measures in which he has had ultimate or prospective interests.” In that | category be pinges the city railroads parsed at the last ecasion, by which the city of New York wus plundered to the tune of two millions of dollars to enrich the pockets of a band | of specniators, among whom, by bis own ad- mission, is Mr. Weed himself. We are told that | these numerous bribes are oilered by frieads— an adwievion that bis associates are of that class who are in the habit of hovering around the legislative halls, aud. like vultures, preying upon the chartered rights of our city and State. This must convince every one, even those who have hed any Coubts apon the subject heretofore, tbat Thurlow Weed is the centre of the lobby, the hub eronnéd which all the Albany freeboot- | ers revolve, If be is not the ringleader in the Albany bribery, how does it happen that every- body runs to him with offere of thousands of dollars to seenre the passage of this or the defeat of (hat measure? Certalnly thease offers would never be made to those not versed in that kind of business. Now, he tells ns, on one band, that he bas re fused on offer for $25,000 to oppose city rail- rouds, and yet labored for the passage of ibose bille in which he Lad “prospective intercsts.” The fair inference to be drawn from this adais- clon ts that bis “prospective interest” was more than the offers on the other side, That be is in the habit of recelyiog large sums fur lobby ser- vices is abundantly proven by his own state ments, as well as the fact elicited on investiga- tion, that he received a five thousaud doucewr on the free wool operation at Washington, whilst pretending to be in favor of a tari, yet advocating s modification in favor of those who were paytog. as he stated, “political expenses.” | With theee facts elanding ont in bold relief, | ie not ble refusal for six yeare of the eum ofsix | hundred thousand dollare easily accounted fort | It appeare that be opposed the city railroads | for along time, but firally his “prospective ' intereste" induced him to take the other side.

The reverend father stands bigh ia the Orter which was founded by Iynatius Loyola for the expresé purpose of maintaniog the supremacy of the Holy Father, and thereture it isquite ua- necersary fo say that the sermon is a strong orthodox production, and one which will «- peoially delight those of the faithful who take (he Pope’s side in the controversy which is now going op in the very bones ef ey ehureh, We ray that this controversy is withia the church of Rome, because such is the simple fact of the case. Heretofore the mother chures has had to conteud with enemies from without: now she is menaced by traitors within. The Pope has no friends in Continental Kurope. Catholic France is against him; Catholic Austria Will not help him; Cathotic Spain looks on indif- ferently, and Catholic Italy is exceedingly anxious to get rid of him. The only real sym- pathizers with bis Holiness are to be found im freland, which sends him soidiers, and the United States, where both clergy and laity are devoted to the ancient landmarks of the faith. ‘The Catholics bereabouts subscribed fifty theu- sand dollars for the Holy Father in a few dave. and the work is stili going on. That shows rest devotion. and therefore we advise the Pope to pack up ali his things, put the keys of St Peter in his carpet bag, and come over to the United States. We can give him a principality out West; and although he has been living oo seven hills for the last thousand years, and found them quite sufficient, we can give him seventy times seven hills if he desires, and rivers whick will make the Tiber seem a muddy brook by comparison. In the way of triumphal arches, ruined palaces and picture galleries, we are not so well supplied; but we can, ina very short time, get up a Vatican with all the mo- cern improvements. So let the Pope settle up his little offairs at once, and come to the arms of his devoted adherents on this side of the water, New Move or Ruwsie tae Wisp ror Carer- ING ON Prestpentia Camparans.— Gerrit Smith is the candidate of the Simon Pure abolitios party in New England and New York, and he is expected by his ultra friends to walk into the rauks of the Lincoln men and take away all the extremists, while the moderate and conser- vative portion will be drawn off to the Union ticket.
